The VAXstation 3520/3540 and VAXstation 3820/3840 systems are workstations using a microprocessor VAX; they are built around a unique bus, the M-bus, to which is attached the CPU, main memory, a graphics adaptor, and an I/O adaptor (L2003) supporting:
The other cards are:
- KA60-AA dual CPU module (VAXstation 3520/3540)
or
- KA60-BA dual CPU module (VAXstation 3820/3840)
and also:
- MS60 memory modules
- MS60-AA (L2007-AA, 8 Mbyte)
- MS60-BA (L2007-BA, 16 Mbyte)
- MS60-CA (L2007-CA, 32 Mbyte)
- VCB03 video controller
An optional QBUS adaptor (L2002) for the M-bus allows use of existing QBUS peripherals.
They normally come with a VR295 Color Monitor.
